Hello Guys!
Today's episode I'm sharing a few things that I have been learning on my course Hormone Health.
As you guys might know, I graduated from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in 2017, and since then I have been continuing my education specializing on topics that are very close to my heart, such as Gut Health, and now Hormone Health because I suffered from health issues related to both.
A few years ago I started to understand how certain healthy foods were impacting my overall health, and just by making small changes, such as eliminating dairy, gluten, and other foods I start seeing a how my body started to heal, and the symptoms of bloating, inflammation, acne started to dissipate.
Since then, I developed this curiosity to learn more and more about functional medicine and holistic nutrition, and how the food we often eat are impacting our bodies in a way that can cause gut issues, hormonal imbalances. I believe that by understanding it and becoming aware of how foods affect our health, we can make empowering choices to improve our health and also to lose the unwanted body fat that is hunting us for so many years.
In a society where we have so much information available on our fingertips is easy for us to get overwhelmed and unsure of what is the best approach for us when it comes to our nutrition. My suggestion is always to consult your physician, a functional Doctor, and an RD to discuss the best dietary approach for your health goals. Ask questions and ask for trustful scientific resources so you can educate yourself, improving the quality of your life and the life of your loved ones.
